Whether it’s your wedding, prom ball, event, party or even personal photo-shoots e.g. family, boudoir, pregnancy – every one of us wants to look gorgeous, flawless, feel beautiful and confident. Sometimes it is one of the biggest and most important days of our life as Wedding…so we all want to be photo-ready for every picture in their Big Day!

It is essential that you have a make-up trial/hair trial before your Wedding – and it’s optional before your Prom Ball or any other important event. It is an ideal opportunity for you to discuss with me your desired look, taking into consideration your skin type/condition, the colour scheme for the day, your dress etc. Trial is highly recommended if you unsure what style of make-up is best for you. It is also a good opportunity to ensure that you are not sensitive to any of the make-up products used. I will listen to your requirements and create a beautiful look that you will feel entirely happy with.

On your wedding day/event, I will arrive at the chosen location at the time agreed at your trial. After your hair has been styled, I will re-create the look that has been personally tailored to your requirements, whilst ensuring you are relaxed and enjoying the whole experience.

Of course, you do not need to wait for a special occasion to look your best, I also offer hair and make-up services for any occasion such as prom balls, hen parties, girls nights out, birthday parties as well a corporate and other small events.

I am offering also make-up lessons to help give you the skill and confidence when choosing and applying your own make-up.

BRIDAL

There are many benefits to booking a make-up artist for your wedding day:

You can achieve the perfect look you desire for your wedding day

Save you time and money – as Using high end, professional products are expensive to buy, it also takes time to source the correct products

Make-up Artist are carrying items such a safety pins, pain killers, plasters, hairspray, nail polish, even nail glue and antiperspirant – so we become invaluable help in emergency situation for You, bridesmaids or your guests!

It is essential to book a MAKE-UP/HAIR TRIAL and usually takes place 8-3 weeks up to 12 month prior to your wedding date, Your make-up trial is a depth consultation carried in order to understand your skin type, select the right products, and colours. It is opportunity to ensure that you are not sensitive to any of the make-up products used. Any look can be created – from very natural to a more glamorous – all depend from you! It is advisable to bring along cuttings from magazines and any samples of colours you are using for your wedding.

For Heirstyling best to show me max 5 photos of hairstyle that you like, and eventually show hairstyles /details that you dislike. Please wash your hair evening before, for normal to dry hair(best to use silicone free shampoo – silicone in shampoo affecting curls, long-lasting of curls, and your hair) or early morning the same day if your hair are greasy. Please blow dry after. Conditioner only at the ends. Please DO NOT straight, curl it, also DO NOT appy any other products or oils e.g. argan oils, fizzy, straightening solutions etc.

It is best to attend the trial with no make-up – no mascara please. Your make-up will then be applied, usually on trial I do one eye different, another different to show you difference, or very natural make-up first, and then alternation by adding more colour for bold eye. I use mainly individual eyelashes – from my experience this are easier to get used to by clients, gives more natural effect, and long lasting finish.
Once you are happy with your make-up, all colours and products used will be recorded in “the client chart” kept on file ready for your wedding day.

Don’t forget to confirm time and location for your venue and for my arrive on day in about one up to two weeks before your wedding day. It’s also the best time to discuss any changes in your skin condition and make-up alternation if needed.

Due to the high demand for the services in summer season, it is essential you book early trial and your big day to avoid disappointment. Check the availability of your date!

Halloween Make-up / Special Effects / Theatrical Make-up

Whether it’s Halloween Night Out or Home Party – many of us want to look extraordinary, fantasy, fairytale or extremely scary…

NOTE: I started gaining experience on sfx field by creating wounds with liquid latex and diy bloods… However, trough my own experience I moved quickly to high quality and all professional grade products(from top SFX brands like Kryolan, Mouldlife, Dermacolor, Ben Nye e.g. face paints, blood, ‘latex like’ filling products). Safety of my clients is very important, so there is no place for DIY unknown & unsure recipes. For sculpting wounds I use now mainly ‘Scoulpt Gel ABC’, to cover big part of body SFX ‘Patsil Gel’- that gives best, extremely realistic result for hours, cures faster and gives more pleasant skin feeling (than latex). I also use professional grade liquid and scratch bloods – can be held in mouth, do no lives marks no skin and clothing (no guaranty on whites). In 2014 one my SFX “stabed wound” creation was published & had front page of Australian “Freque Mgazine”.BEAUTY AND BRIDAL’s by DOROTA wounds and scars effects looks extremely realistic! … That why I am not going to publish any of it on this page – I do believe that not everyone wish to look at it! – but If any of you is interested with that type of make-ups – I recommend to visit my Special Effect Gallery on my second Facebook Page – NOTE: please do not look if you sensitive for view of blood(!) – DOROTA MUA – SFX FACEBOOK GALLERY.

I highly recommended to get in touch with me for booking at last 1-2 weeks before the event – I am strongly recommend to perform patch tests of some professional product that are used in creating the sfx effects… (patch test should be carry out no later then 48 – 24 hours before booking day) f you are unable to travel to my location to make a patch test, it is not a problem! – I can send tiny samples by post! – I want be sure that you would be absolutely safe when products would be applied!

Whether style you are looking for – I strongly recommend to collect pictures, pages from magazine and show me all your ideas – so I could better understand what style you are looking for. Upon my technical skill and knowledge I give you my own proposition and suggestion.

Don’t forget to bring your own hair extension – it may help to build up desired look.

Long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair — all types provide numerous opportunities and alternatives for a seasoned stylist. I can demonstrate a few options so you can see what works for you, choose the style you want, and care for your hair in advance to specifically support that style.I do not recommend to do any hair alternation or going for any drastic hair changein about 1 – 2 weeks before (especially with unknown to you hairdresser) e.g colouring, perming, cutting etc. You may have not enough time to fix condition of your hair! (and you get extra stress…)

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HAIR TRIAL

Schedule a hair trial a couple months to a few weeks before the wedding. Trials are basically a run-through of your wedding day hair and often is done together with make-up trial. It’s gives you peace of mind and to ensure you tie down that perfect hairstyle.This is your opportunity to bring in the veil and the pictures of hairstyles you love. This is also your chance to try out a few styles. You absolutely do not want to try a new style on the day of your wedding….

Here are some tips for your hair trial:

Bring in a photo of your dress so I could ensure your hair fits with the dress style, or explain clearly style of your wedding dress.

Be honest – tell me about your expectations and speak up if you don’t love the style you end up with. Many brides have more than one hair trial before they settle on a style they love.

Take digital pictures of your hair once it’s done from every angle to see how you will look in your wedding pictures and to your guests.

Extra tip: Don’t get a major haircut in between your hair trial and your wedding day. If you do so…you must inform me about any alternation done – as hairstyle from your trial may not be possible to re-create with you different haircuts. If difference is drastic – you may need to consider to do another trial.

All time I try to gain knowledge and learn techniques of different hairstyles. I recently practising on dummy head (medium hair lenght). You can check all hairstyles that I performed on by Facebook page
